slim ps2 cant read clean kingdom hearts 2

[DivineSoldier]

i recently bought a new slim type ps2 to replace the old fat ps2 that i had. Normally my kingdom hearts 2 works on my fat one, but when i pop kingdom hearts 2 into my slim ps2, it keeps saying this message "Please insert a playstation or playstation 2 format disc". I bought kingdom hearts 2 last year, and i was wondering...

does anyone know wat the problem is? should i replace my kingdom hearts 2 or is something wrong with my new ps2 slim (slim can read kingdom hearts 1 but it cant ready kingdom hearts 2 ?!) pls help me.

Hmm, idk. It's not scratched right? If not then ask for a new PS2, or maybe rent a KH2 then try that.

well u see heres the funny thing, my slim one can read the kingdom hearts 1, but it can't read kingdom hearts 2

 

[Shadow Fenix]

Hmm, well idk then. Maybe ask a videogame store clerk. Like Gamestop or Gamecrazy

 

[keyblade39]

try cleaing or kh2 or blowing off the slit in ur slim ps2, or try Doortolight024's suggestions

 

[DivineSoldier]

maybe i should get a new kingdom hearts 2. sigh, lol

you should bring the ps2 too the place you bought it and get it looked at or something. I've always had a slim ps2 and KH1 and 2 have always worked fine.

Try using a cleaning disc on your PS2 I know it's new and everything but it's worth a try mine use to play up on certain games but I used a cleaning disc and it worked.

Actually it's funny you should mention it, I bought the a PS2 slim and it was dosgy for a while but it sorted it's self out for me... lol

But yeah try a cleaning disc for actual PS2. or maybe ask a video store to resurface your PS2 disc, I think it costs like 5 bucks, try that before buying new stuff.

Hope it helps!

well actually, there is barely any scratches on my kingdom hearts 2 cd. if it did have scratches, it would say a message like this "disc could not be read". the problem im having is when it says "please insert a playstation or playstation 2 disc format" some of my other cd's have scratches on it and it says the message "disc could not be read" or "disc read error".

oh well, at least kingdom hearts 2 is like 19.99$. cheap right now so ill buy a new one lol. unless u guys have any other suggestions.

Well the slim PS2 is less than the fat PS2. It is known to have taken things out to make it lighter and faster. But there is a cost and i know now that some games might not work. Also don't think PS2 slim is better. They took 3 things out then made it slim but added one thing. So this will tell you how good PS2 slim is. Also it will be hard to find a good PS2 slim that will play every PS2 games. Yet somehow they fat one will.

What's the SCPH number you see on the back of the slim PS2? The SCPH should be on that sticker somewhere underneath your slim PS2. And is your KH2 game the greatest hit version or what? And yes, fat PS2 > slim PS2 (except the v12 and v13 since you can do the HD combo :thumbsup

Edit: Did you buy this slim PS2 brand new or used/refurbished at a local gamestop or somewhere? If my guess is correct, your KH2 along with your specific slim PS2 version are incompatible.

Hmm weird, I had the same problem with God of War 2. It worked fine on my PS2 but it would not work on my friends slim PS2.

 

[rikufan06]

hey that ps2 slim burns the discs too through prolonged time of play so becarefull its messing up my brothers games too i have th old fat one (ah good times)
ive had it since a year it came out and still works, my discs have a clearer look than his
so yeah in conclusion slim sucks
no ofense but yeah

p.s.fat reads scratched discs better than slim

 

[Sora-Riku]

i went to my friends house and she has a slim and kh2 worked on it so i dont know what to tell you!

 

[Forever Atlas]

lol, thats why i kept my big PS2 served me just fine.... and out lasted a lot of other ppls slim PS2 ^^

 

[Pern]

I have something like that happen to me. It might be your ps2 cuz I bout a new one and I put a game in and it didn't work, but my other games did and when I put the same game (the one that didn't work) in one of my older ones and it work fine, so it might be touchie to your KH2.

I hope that I help.

What's with all the negativity towards the slim? It's the only ps2 that I have ever know. It works great for me. the only thing is, Madden 05 doesn't always work. Yeah, I'm behind the times. But it was 3 bucks used at gamestop!

If you're ever into PS2 homebrew, besides the v12 and v13 black slim PS2s, most slim PS2s in my opinion are completely worse than the old fat PS2s. I've heard the v19 SCPH-79000s improved upon this, but as far as I'm concerned, the v17 silver slim PS2 I own has horrible ventilation, and it's more prone to creating in-game glitches, freezes and such in PSX games where it never existed before though it's just me it seems.
